Boeuf @ Teloy Ayer Street - Launches A Revamped Menu Alongside an Upgrade Weekend Free-Flow Steak Promotion

Known for its dry-aged steaks, Boeuf at Telok Ayer Street recently launched a revamped menu alongside an upgrade to its popular Weekend Free-Flow Steak promotion, including three unlimited sides.

Shrimp Avocado Salad 4.5/5

Adding to the range of appetisers available, the Shrimp Avocado Salad ($18) will certainly appeal to seafood lovers. Lightly coated with a sweet and tangy homemade whiskey cocktail sauce, the chilled shrimp boasted a succulent texture enhanced by creamy fresh avocado slices, with pops of crunch and sweetness from pomegranate seeds. Topped with lumpfish caviar, the salad's overall sweetness was punctuated by a delightful briny and salty nuance.

BBQ Short Ribs 5/5

Due to popular demand, the BBQ Short Ribs ($48), previously available only as part of a platter, are now offered à la carte. It's no wonder, given that the AUS Black Angus Short Ribs were incredibly tender and juicy, with delectably gelatinous parts. The exterior, deliciously caramelised with a blood orange glazed BBQ sauce, provided a sweet and umami complement to the beefy flavours.

Signature Dry-Aged Ribeye 3.5/5

Steak Butter

We also tried the Signature Dry-Aged Ribeye ($99) — AUS Black Angus Ribeye MB5 (400g), served with one side and one sauce of your choice. Truffle fries and steak butter are new items, also available à la carte. The steak butter, offered in three different flavours, might intrigue you for an enhanced experience. However, I didn't enjoy the ribeye as much as the short ribs, finding it slightly too chewy and lacking in flavour.

Truffle Fries 3.5/5

The fries were pretty crisp and moreish with a creamy truffle dip. However, I prefer them with a generous sprinkle of parmesan for that extra oomph.

Lemon Tart 4/5

For dessert, we had the Lemon Tart ($13 for 2 pieces). Unlike a regular lemon tart filled entirely with lemon curd, which can be overly sweet, this one was filled with whipped mascarpone flavoured with Madagascar vanilla lemon curd and a sprinkle of toasted hazelnuts, offering a more balanced sweetness.

As mentioned, Boeuf brings a new Weekend Free Flow Steak Promotion. For just $48++ per diner, enjoy endless servings of Argentinian Black Angus Ribeye Steak, grilled over a charcoal fire, with a free-flow trio of sides, including crisp skinny fries, fresh sourdough with butter, and creamed spinach. There is also a refreshing three-course set lunch ($29.90 ++ ) including an appetiser, main course, and coffee or dessert.

Shaburi & Kintan Buffet @ JEM - New Summer Buffet Menu Featuring Seafood Platter with Oysters, Scallops, Prawns and More

Shaburi & Kintan Buffet has been a popular, family-friendly option at JEM. It offers both Shabu-Shabu and Kintan (Japanese BBQ) buffet options at various price points. The restaurant has launched a new seasonal Natsu Matsuri Shaburi Platter/Kintan Platter as part of summer celebrations.

From now till 27 June 2024, the Natsu Matsuri Shaburi Platter is available at an attractive 20% discount, priced at $68.04++ for 2 pax (U.P. $78.80++). After that, it will return to its original price point and remain available until the end of August.

Natsu Matsuri Shaburi Buffet 4/5

The restaurant was decked out in vibrant decor that matched the summer vibes. Look out for the blue food tags to identify the special seasonal items!

Twin Pot

With the whole range of broths available, we definitely appreciated that we could opt for two broths instead of just one. For an additional $1, you can opt for the Twin Pot. We chose the classic Original Kombu and Chicken Collagen Paitan for our first pot and the seasonal Creamy Truffle and Clear Truffle for our second. Other broth options include Hot Miso, Tonkotsu, and Sukiyaki.

Banchan

We enjoyed the Banchan more than we expected! The sesame spinach, beansprouts, kimchi and radish tasted fresh and had a good crunch.

Sushi Rolls

However, the Sushi Rolls, mainly consisting of chicken and a higher rice-to-meat ratio, were skippable in favour of better carb options.

Takoyaki

At the Fried Food section, you can find Tempura Sweet Potato, French Fries and Takoyaki, all of which we noticed were popular with children.

Tori Karaage

Among the starters, there was Chawanmushi and Tori Karaage available. The latter was chunky and seasoned well, despite lacking crunch.

Hot Food

The Hot Food section offered a variety of dishes, including Bacon with Potatoes, Beef Japchae, Curry Chicken, Yakisoba and Ginger Fried Rice. We were pleasantly surprised by the Ginger Fried Rice, which had a lingering ginger aroma.

Condiments

All Condiments are included in the buffet price, and there is a good selection of sauces to choose from. Take a look at their sauce board for the restaurant's recommended mixes. I liked the Japanese Favourite, a tangy and refreshing mix of ponzu, original Shaburi sauce, and Japanese leek. The seasonal spicy Shaburi sauce, studded with sesame seeds, is perfect for those who like more heat.

Natsu Matsuri Shaburi Platter

Next came the buffet's highlight, the Natsu Matsuri Shaburi Platter, served in a wooden boat. It featured a range of seafood, including Half-Shell Scallops, Cooked Prawns, Fresh Salmon, Baby Cuttlefish, Oysters, and White-Shell Clams. Our favourites were the plump scallops and crunchy prawns.

Special Shabu Meat

As part of the buffet, we could select two plates of Special Shabu Meat. We chose the Tender Chicken, Homemade Chicken Ball, Iberico Pork, and Pork Cheese Shabu. The meats were thinly sliced and fresh, without any gamey smell. The Pork Cheese Shabu was particularly interesting, with cheese slices served alongside the pork. We were taught to roll the cheese up before putting it into the bubbling pot for a quick cook for that cheesy ooze.

Shabu ingredients

Shabu ingredients are free-flowing for all diners, including leafy vegetables and chilled/frozen options like fishcakes, crabsticks, chikuwa, and fish balls. We enjoyed the fresh ingredients, including black fungus, corn, mushrooms, tofu, egg, etc.

Chocolate Fondue

For desserts, we started with the Chocolate Fondue, which featured bittersweet chocolate with choices of marshmallows, churros, and more to pair. Unfortunately, we found the churros and donuts a bit too hard and preferred the fresh fruits.

Dango

The time-limited Dango leaned more dense. They come in pairs on a stick, with sauces on the side to drizzle over. While we found the Dango average, the black sesame paste was rich and fragrant.

DIY Kakigori Station

The DIY Kakigori Station, located with the beverage machines, allowed us to make our own shaved ice. Pour the ice cubes into the top of the machine, switch it on, and you will have a bowl of shaved ice in no time. Drizzle with sauces such as Strawberry sauce, Blue Hawaii sauce, and Condensed Milk before pairing with azuki red beans or even soft serve and warabi mochi. While the ice wasn't as fine in texture, it was a fun experience.

As part of the summer celebration, diners who spend a minimum of $80 can participate in their Sure-win Gachapon Game, with prizes such as return cash vouchers and cute keychains.
